Cost of Plane Tix to HI

I know that we're like 10+ months out, but FI and I are planning on going to Hawaii for our HM.  I looked at plane tickets the other day (actually started by looking at using miles, but that won't work).  Anyway from Cincinnati to Honolulu, the tickets were $750.  Is that a reasonable price?  We fly all the time from Boston to Tennessee or to Cincinnati or Texas, and we usually pay between $300-$500.  So I'm wondering if these tickets seem reasonable, or if there are better deals out there.

Just trying to wrap my head around the cost.

Re: Cost of Plane Tix to HI

  • I've been looking at hawaii and that isn't a bad price not knowing your dates/times. The last search I did on Kayak I found a few flights for 728 but no less then that.  Have you tried a travel agent?  They sometimes have better deals on flights.
  • When I went to HI it was $850 per ticket on a direct flight from O'Hare...it'd say that's a good price
  • Yeah, I'd say that's great!  I've been researching for next summer too from Columbus (small world) and I feel like everything was around $1100 each!!!  I better look into leaving from Cincy!  :)
  • Thats less than how much it is from Newark, NJ. I'd say it's pretty fair.

  • Thanks, Ladies!  I just wanted to know if I was in the right ballpark.

    RNM - strange how Cincy is less than Columbus.
  • i would suggest sigining up for travel alerts from tripadvisor.com.  i know i'm a little closer in AZ, but they have some great deals going on right now.  we went to HI last year and ended up paying around $400 per ticket.  a few months ago, my BF's parents got a rt ticket from phoenix to honolulu for $282!!!  obviously since you are going farther it'll be a little bit more, but they wouldn't have known about that deal without the fare alert emails.

  • We just got back.  Our tickets were $850 each from Pittsburgh to Honolulu.

  • Right now I've noticed they are super cheap from my area (baltimore) but I went once in November and paid maybe $700 round trip and then this past march and paid $1270 so it varies widely.
  • That's a really long flight for you, which is why it's so expensive. It also depends on the time of year, and you're looking to go during a time that is probably considered about peak. We're going to Maui for our honeymoon, and we were able to get tickets for $330 RT (+tax) from Seattle. The flight is 6 hours from Seattle, so that gives you an idea of how long the flight is.
  • We bought ours last month, they were right abuot $750 per ticket to go in August and thats flying from the west coast. They are supposedly cheaper in May but maybe becuase you are flying from further away.
